2 Kings 4:1-44
The
situation seemed hopeless - ‘The child was lying dead on his bed’(32).
What did Elisha do? - He ‘prayed to the Lord’(33). What are we to do
when everything seems hopeless? Pray: ‘Restore us again, O God of our
salvation… Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in
You?’(Psalm 85:4,6). When we are at our lowest ebb, God is waiting to
hear from us. Our prayer may not be eloquent - but it must come from the
heart! Perhaps, we can hardly put our prayer into words. God looks
beyond our inadequate words. He looks into our hearts. If, in our
hearts, we are saying to Him, ‘Restore the joy of Your salvation to me,
and provide me with a spirit of willing obedience’, He will hear and He
will answer (Romans 8:26-27; Psalm 51:12). You can make a new beginning
with God - right now!
